“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु चातुद्दिसो होति। कतमेहि पञ्चहि?
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu cātuddiso hoti. Katamehi pañcahi?
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu with five qualities is at ease in any quarter. What five?
इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सीलवा होति, पातिमोक्खसंवरसंवुतो विहरति आचारगोचरसम्पन्नो अणुमत्तेसु वज्जेसु भयदस्सावी, समादाय सिक्खति सिक्खापदेसु;
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlavā hoti, pātimokkhasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati ācāragocarasampanno aṇumattesu vajjesu bhayadassāvī, samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu;
It’s when bhikkhu is ethical, restrained in the monastic code, conducting themselves well and seeking alms in suitable places. Seeing danger in the slightest fault, they keep the rules they’ve undertaken.
बहुस्सुतो होति सुतधरो सुतसन्निचयो, ये ते धम्मा आदिकल्याणा मज्झेकल्याणा परियोसानकल्याणा सात्थं सब्यञ्जनं केवलपरिपुण्णं परिसुद्धं ब्रह्मचरियं अभिवदन्ति, तथारूपास्स धम्मा बहुस्सुता होन्ति धाता वचसा परिचिता मनसानुपेक्खिता दिट्ठिया सुप्पटिविद्धा;
bahussuto hoti sutadharo sutasannicayo, ye te dhammā ādikalyāṇā majjhekalyāṇā pariyosānakalyāṇā sātthaṁ sabyañjanaṁ kevalaparipuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ abhivadanti, tathārūpāssa dhammā bahussutā honti dhātā vacasā paricitā manasānupekkhitā diṭṭhiyā suppaṭividdhā;
They’re very learned, remembering and keeping what they’ve learned. These teachings are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased, describing a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. They are very learned in such teachings, remembering them, reinforcing them by recitation, mentally scrutinizing them, and comprehending them theoretically.
सन्तुट्ठो होति इतरीतरचीवरपिण्डपातसेनासनगिलानप्पच्चयभेसज्जपरिक्खारेन;
santuṭṭho hoti itarītaracīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārena;
They’re content with any kind of robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick.
चतुन्नं झानानं आभिचेतसिकानं दिट्ठधम्मसुखविहारानं निकामलाभी होति अकिच्छलाभी अकसिरलाभी;
catunnaṁ jhānānaṁ ābhicetasikānaṁ diṭṭhadhammasukhavihārānaṁ nikāmalābhī hoti akicchalābhī akasiralābhī;
They get the four jhānas—blissful meditations in the present life that belong to the higher mind—when they want, without trouble or difficulty.
आसवानं खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति।
āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati.
They realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements.
इमेहि, खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु चातुद्दिसो होती”ति।
Imehi, kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu cātuddiso hotī”ti.
A bhikkhu with these five qualities is at ease in any quarter.”
